His time at Arsenal may be coming to a close, either in January or next summer, but Alexis Sanchez once again showed his worth to the Gunners by netting a match-winning brace at Selhurst Park on Thursday.

The game saw Arsene Wenger equal Sir Alex Ferguson's record for most Premier League games managed (810), with the Frenchman looking to get one over on fellow coaching veteran Roy Hodgson.

London (AFP) – Christian Benteke admitted he let his Crystal Palace team-mates down by missing a penalty he should not by rights have taken in the 2-2 draw with fellow Premier League strugglers Bournemouth last Saturday.

The 27-year-old Belgian international - who is yet to score in 12 appearances this season - should have let Luka Milivojevic take the penalty late in the game as he had already scored from the spot earlier in the game.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has ruled out signing Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere in January, reports the Evening Standard. The English international, who is valued at £13.5m, is out of contract in the summer and has yet to put pen to paper on a deal that will see him staying at the Emirates Stadium past next summer.

According to the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace could look to Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun to solve their scoring woes, with reports than manager Roy Hodgson is considering a bid for the prolific Turkish international.

Tosun, who signed for Besiktas on a free transfer from Gaziantepspor in 2014, scored 20 goals in 33 Super Lig games last season, helping his side win the league title.

Roy Hodgson's soul-sapping start to life as Crystal Palace's new manager has plumbed a new depth today with news that, having lost their sole remaining striker to injury, the club are mulling over the prospect of signingCarlton Cole.

Having lost Christian Benteke to a knee ligament injury last week, Hodgson currently doesn't have a single recognised senior striker at his disposal with Connor Wickham already ruled out until January and, well.

Amid all the Champions League hubbub, Crystal Palace chose Tuesday night to officially appoint Roy Hodgson as their new manager.

The 70-year-old replaces Frank de Boer, who was sacked just four matches into his tenure and becoming the first ever manager in Premier League history to lose his job without seeing his side score a single goal.

After trying and systematically failing to transform Crystal Palace into a working facsimile of the 1974 Holland side in the space of four matches, Frank de Boer's micro-tenure at Selhurst Park is today officially at an end.

Did he take on too much, too soon in attempting to impress an expansive 3-4-3 formation upon a team long-steeped in the dreary brine of Tony Pulis, Neil Warnock, Alan Pardew and Sam Allardyce?

They've done it, they've actually gone and done it. Crystal Palace have sacked Frank de Boer just four league matches into the Dutchman's tenure at Selhurst Park.

With the team winless and goalless so far this season, chairman Steve Parish has given the order to fire the very man he brought in to completely overhaul and revitalise Palace's footballing philosophy.

London (AFP) – Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has urged everyone at the club to “stick together” despite a dismal start to the Premier League season and increasing speculation about the future of manager Frank de Boer.

De Boer has overseen four defeats in as many games without scoring a single goal since taking over at Selhurst Park in the summer, the worst start in Premier League history.

London (AFP) – Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson praised the video assistant referee (VAR) system after its debut in English competitive football following initial confusion around Brighton’s winning goal.

Brighton’s Glenn Murray scored a late winner in the home side’s 2-1 FA Cup third-round defeat of Palace on Monday but, with suggestions of handball, there was confusion among players, fans at the ground and TV viewers over whether VAR had had any influence on the decision.

Melbourne (AFP) – Former England manager Roy Hodgson is in Australia to work with faltering A-League club Melbourne City over the next month, the team said.

The 69-year-old, who was in charge of England for 56 internationals up to last year, arrived on Wednesday and will spend time mentoring and consulting with coach Michael Valkanis and his backroom staff.

The inevitable finally happens. After 10 seasons at the club – Liverpool's longest serving player by some distance – Lucas is moving to Lazio for a rumored £5m. It's a day long in coming, a day filled with happy memories, but also a day filled with regret. And sadness.
